Re: Angus -- Open Letter to Industry Minister Prentice

Net neutrality could be a huge deciding factor in the next federal election. The conservative governments decided lack of action just amplifies this.

Not by a long shot. The demographic which is most upset by this--better educated people under 35--is not known for voting in large numbers. People in the age 45+ demographics decide elections. Few of them will have heard about net neutrality and even fewer of them will understand it.

Network operators have a 10-15 year window to cut the Internet up into a collection of walled gardens before the demographics turn enough that major political intervention is likely.

The Government is a Lie.

we vote a bunch of morons to run the country

and YET THEY DONT care what the public wants

they only care what the Corporations want.

In other countries that we see in the news

what happens when the government doesn't do what the public wants?

RIOTS - NOISES. ETC

look at france - the government is scared from it's people.

We the people vote these idiots, and then? well u know what

Hey! I take umbrage...I'm 46. And until a few days ago, not throttled...and...well...I've told this tale to more of my 40+ customers then you'd believe...and they're all taking steps to write their own letters.

Stupid people regardless of age are more likely to believe Bell's story and also vote for politicians based on promises that are unfulfillable.

I'm only a couple of years younger than Richard M. Stallman, and date back to punch cards and think I have a fairly good grasp of the situation.

I really don't want to get into politics but IMHO both the Liberals and the Conservatives and their pandering to lobbyists and the various old boy's clubs are to blame for
the situation we find ourselves in. The NDP can't get a handle on economic realities and the Green Party.. oh well maybe some day. No wonder young whipper snappers don't want to vote.
